    The plaintiff's application for costs after the recall judgment was declined because the recall judgment constituted a final determination on the matters including costs rather than an interlocutory order amenable to r14.8(2); r14.8(2) permits revisiting costs only where subsequent events justify it, which was not established here; accordingly the application was dismissed and the defendant awarded a modest sum for memorandum costs.
